26、在英国进行的调查产生了结果。conduct 意为“进行”,这里 conduct investigations表示“进行调查”。避错指导 reduce 意为“减少”,produce 意为“生产”,deduct 意为“扣除”,这三个词不能与investigations搭配使用。2.(分数:0.50)A.assumptions B.ideasC.thoughtsD.concepts解析:解析 语义衔接题。本句中出现了两处出题点,从第 7题选项可以看出这里表示“传统的关于收入和消费的假定或观点”。单从本句来看,四个选项似乎都可以填入空白处,但紧接着下一句中就出现了An- other tradition
27、al assumption,是本句中内容的同义复现,由此可以判断这里填入 assumptions正确。避错指导 idea、thought 和 concept都有“想法”的意思。其中,idea 的使用范围最广;thought 一词指明显的智力活动,特别是指经过思考和推理后得出的结论,与单纯的观察、感觉或愿望不同;concept用于大范围内的成形的思想。这三个词放在句中,与下一句的 traditional assumption不能构成复现关系,故排除。3.(分数:0.50)A.delayB.hesitateC.hasten D.hurry解析:解析 语义衔接题。本句提到:另一种假定是如果有钱人预见
28、到价格将上涨,他们就会如何做。单从四个选项不能判断这里应该填入“延迟购买”还是“急于购买”。再看下一句:如果他们预见价格下降,他们就会暂缓购买。由此可以判断出,本句中应该是“匆忙购买”的意思,故选 hasten,意为“赶紧,抢着”。避错指导 delay 意为“延迟”,hesitate 意为“犹豫,踌躇”,若将这两个词放入句中,与下一句意思矛盾;hurry 意为“匆忙,赶紧”,指“动作不轻松、不自然的快,有时表示不必要的快”,并且常有“忙乱、匆促”的意思,而 hasten着重于“想办法赶快”的意思,并常表示“匆忙的动作,有时动作过分仓促而不能得到预期的结果”。通过对比可知,hasten 比 hu
29、rry更符合句子语境。4.(分数:0.50)A.realB.true C.actualD.genuine解析:解析 词汇辨析题。该句表达的意思是:但是调查结果表明这不总是真的。这里是指上文中提到的“如果有钱的人预见到价格上涨,他们就会赶紧购买。如果他们预见价格下降,他们就会暂缓购买”不总是真的。true 意为“真实的”,暗指与事实、现实或事物的真实状态相一致。句中就表示事实与假定相一致,故是本题的正确选项。避错指导 real、actual 和 genuine都有“真实的”含义。real 表示相对于“假”的“真”,即某物外表与其实质之间的一致性。actual 在一般英汉词典里都有“真实的”这一释
30、义,如果用词确切,这个词总包含着动作的进行。genuine 表示“真的”是指非伪造、非冒牌或纯粹的东西。这几个词都不能表示“符合真实情况”的含义,故排除。5.(分数:0.50)A.availableB.obtainableC.reasonable D.responsible解析:解析 语义衔接题。本句指出:如果价格稳定,人们认为其时就可能购买。根据常识可知,只有人们认为价格合理,才会购买。reasonable 意为“合理的”,如:This is a reasonable solution to the problem (这是该问题的一个合理的解决办法。)避错指导 available 意为“可得
31、到的,可利用的”;obtainable 意为“可得到的”;responsible 意为“有责任的,负责任的”,与上下文语义不符。6.(分数:0.50)A.appears B.occursC.happensD.expects解析:解析 词汇辨析题。本文前面谈到在美国当物价上涨时,人们会暂缓购买,而在英国当物价上涨时,人们会赶紧抢购。然后自然过渡到物价稳定的情况最有助于消费的是物价稳定。appear 意为“看来,似乎”,如:Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water(两个月的婴儿看来不像是不肯下
32、水的。)appear 后常跟不定式结构,放在句中既符合语义关系,又符合语法要求。避错指导 occur 意为“出现”,happen 意为“发生”,这两个词不符合本处语义关系。expect 意为“期待,期盼”,后常跟不定式结构,但该词的主语是人,如果是物则须使用被动语态,显然不符合此处的语法要求。7.(分数:0.50)A.comprehensibleB.understandableC.responsibleD.reliable 解析:解析 语义衔接题。本文第二段前三句指出:如果一名经济学家被问及收入增加、收入稳定和收入减少的三种人中,哪种人借钱最多。他可能回答是那些收入减少者。事实上,在 1997
33、2000年间,答案是收入增加者借钱最多,收入减少者次之,而收入不变者借钱最少。这说明现在的观点和过去的观点不同。第四句是对前三句进行总结,由句子之间的语义逻辑关系可以推断出 traditional assumption(传统假定)是不可靠的。reliable 意为“可靠的”,如:Its not reliable to judge a man only by his looks(单凭容貌来判断一个人是不可靠的。)避错指导 comprehensible 意为“可理解的,能懂的”,understandable 意为“可以理解的”,responsible意为“负责的”,均与上下文语义不符。8.(分数:
34、0.50)A.consumer B.clientC.customerD.buyer解析:解析 语义衔接题。文章开篇就提到了经济心理学,而且通篇在谈论 consumer(消费者)的行为和心理,很容易判断出文章末句是对全文进行的总结因而,维持物价稳定的一般商业政策看来是建立在对消费者心理正确理解的基础之上。显然,这里谈论的是 consumer psychology,这正是本文主题所在。避错指导 client、customer 和 buyer虽然在文中都有所涉及,但只是文中提到细节内容时使用的词汇,文章末句是对全文内容进行总结,因此应该使用能够表明主题的词汇。9.(分数:0.50)A.data B.
35、materialsC.moneyD.things解析:解析 语义衔接题。文章开篇提到:一个研究经济心理学,想预测消费者花钱方式的科学家必须研究消费者的行为。接下来,第二句就提到:他必须获得关于消费者资源和动机的某种东西。根据常识可知,进行科学研究需要搜集资料和数据。data 意为“资料,数据”,在文中表示“科学家必须获得的资料”。避错指导 material 意为“资料,素材”,指可以被提炼制造或组合成一个完整作品的内容,如一个主意或信息;money 一词虽然与上下文有联系,但放在此处,语句不通顺;thing 词义过于模糊,不符合句子语境。10.(分数:0.50)A.mostB.least C.
36、fewestD.worst解析:解析 语义衔接题。上一句提到:事实上,在 1997至 2000年间,答案是那些收入增加者。接着本句又指出:那些收入减少者紧随其后。从第二段首句可知作者提出的是 borrow most(借钱最多)的问题,也就是说 1997-2000年间,那些收入增加者借钱最多,收入减少者次之,由此推断出收入稳定者肯定是借钱最少的。least 是 little的最高级,用来修饰不可数名词。避错指导 most 与句子语义矛盾,显然不符合;fewest 是 few的最高级,用来修饰可数名词,句中borrow的对象是 money,因此需要修饰不可数名词的形容词,故排除;worst 是 b
37、ad的最高级,这里不是比较好坏与否,故 worst放在此处不恰当。11.(分数:0.50)A.But B.HoweverC.SoD.Although解析:解析 逻辑衔接题。仅从本句不能够确定语句间的逻辑关系,下一句提到:涨价的预期可能不会刺激购买。这个观点与前两句提出的观点矛盾:另一种假定是如果有钱的人预见到价格上涨,他们就会赶紧购买。如果他们预见价格下降,他们就会暂缓购买。由此可以判断出,此处应为转折关系,but 正是表示转折关系的连词。避错指导 however 意为“不管,可是”,表示转折关系,使用时必须用逗号与后面隔开;so 表示因果关系; although 表示让步关系。12.(分数:
38、0.50)A.examinationB.researchC.projectD.investigation 解析:解析 语义衔接题。本题要求句中填入一个名词,单从句子本身来看,无法判断四个选项哪个是最佳选项。句中谈到在美国进行的某项,但紧接着下一句又提到:同时在英国进行的调查。根据词汇复现关系,可以判断本句中出现的名词也应该是 investigation。避错指导 examination 意为“检查”;research 意为“研究”;project 意为“设计,计划”。13.(分数:0.50)A.educatorB.economist C.artistD.editor解析:解析 语义衔接题。从四
39、个选项来看,本句中空白处要求填入一个表明身份、职业的名词。本文开篇就提及 economic psychology(经济心理学)、money 和 consumers,显然,作者是在谈论经济问题,因此这里一定是 economist(经济学家)。避错指导 educator(教学家)、artist(艺术家)及 editor(编辑)与文中提到的消费习惯、经济心理没有直接联系,因此不是本题要求填入的正确词汇。14.(分数:0.50)A.bankB.tradeC.industryD.business 解析:解析 语义衔接题。本题上一句提到:如果价格稳定,人们认为其合理时就可能购买。然后,作者得出本句中的结论
40、。从 of后面的定语 maintaining stable prices可以推出,这里谈及的是商业政策,即 business policy。避错指导 bank、trade 和 industry虽然与消费和消费心理都有关系,但句中并没有特别指明银行、贸易和工业,因此不能填入这些表示具体含义的词汇,只能使用 business(商业)这个通用词。15.(分数:0.50)A.in comparison withB.in combination withC.in agreement with D.in company with解析:解析 短语辨析题。正确解答本题需要对作者前面陈述的观点进行总结。作者在第
41、二段中指出在美国进行的调查结果,说明了目前人们的观点与传统观点不一致。而本句中出现了 however,表示转折,这说明在英国进行的凋查表明他们的观点与美国人的观点不同,由此得出英国人的观点与传统观点是一致的。in agreement with 意为“一致”,如:His opinion is in agreement with mine(他的意见和我的一致。)避错指导 in comparison with 意为“比较,对照”;in combination with 意为“与组合,联合”;in company with意为“和一起”。这三个短语都没有“与一致”的含义,因此不符合上下文语境。16.(
42、分数:0.50)A.especiallyB.particularlyC.approximatelyD.probably 解析:解析 语义衔接题。本句大意为:如果一名经济学家被问及收入增加、收入稳定和收入减少这三种人中,哪种人借钱最多,他可能回答是那些收入减少者。probably 意为“可能,大概”,表示一种比较确定的猜测,用在本句中符合句意。避错指导 especially 意为“尤其,特别地”,particularly 意为“特别,尤其”,句中或句子上下文没有表示需要特别指明或强调某一方面的语境,因此这两个词放入句中不恰当;approximately 意为“大约”,表示大概基本正确或精确的意思
43、,文中表示的不是答案精确与否,只是表示存在某种可能性,故排除。17.(分数:0.50)A.similarB.soundC.stable D.equal解析:解析 词汇辨析题。句中作者提到三种不同类型的消费者:people with rising incomes(收入增加者)和 people with declining incomes(收入下降者),显然中间一类应该是“收入稳定者”。此外,第二段第三句中也提及 stable incomes。stable 意为“稳定的,平稳的”,句中 stable incomes表示“收入稳定”。避错指导 similar 意为“相似的,类似的”,此处不是比较两个
44、人的收入是否类似,而是和自己的收入相比是上升、不变,还是下降,故不能使用 similar;sound 意为“坚实的,稳固的”,指基础牢固,不可动摇,显然不符合句子语境;equal 意为“相当的,相同的”,也有与别人进行比较的意思,不能表达收入保持不变的含义。18.(分数:0.50)A.NeverthelessB.Furthermore C.WhereasD.Therefore解析:解析 逻辑衔接题。本句前两句指出:涨价的预期可能不会刺激购买。在物价上涨时,一名接受采访的机械师的妻子表达了一种具有代表性的观点,她家正准备买一部新车,但是现在推迟了购买计划。接下来,本句又指出:那些已经上涨了的价格
45、遭遇不满,会引发消费者的抵触心理。显然,本句与上一句的例子都是对“涨价的预期可能不会刺激购买”进行的解释。这两句是顺承关系,有递进含义,故选择furthermore。避错指导 nevertheless 意为“然而”,表示转折关系;whereas 也表示转折关系;therefore 表示因果关系。19.(分数:0.50)A.attendB.intendC.tend D.pretend解析:解析 词汇辨析题。本句意为:他必须获得有关消费者来源及导致促进或阻碍消费动机的数据。 tend意为“趋向,有的趋势”,tend 后通常与不定式结构连用。显然,tend 用在本句中既符合语义关系,又符合句子的语法
46、要求。避错指导 attend 意为“参加,照看”,是及物动词,后面应直接跟宾语;intend 意为“打算”,主语是人,不能是物;pretend 意为“假装”。20.(分数:0.50)A.radicalB.accidentalC.typical D.superficial解析:解析 词汇辨析题。本题上一句指出:涨价的预期可能不会刺激购买。接下来,作者用一个事例来说明这种观点:在物价上涨时,一名接受采访的机械师的妻子表达了一种观点,她家正准备买一部新车,但是现在推迟了购买计划。typical 意为“有代表性的,典型的”,在句中表示这个主妇的观点是大多数人都有的想法,具有代表性。避错指导 radic
47、al 意为“激进的,偏激的”;accidental 意为“意外的,偶然的”;superficial 意为“肤浅的,浅薄的”。这三个词均与上下文语义关系不符。三、Section Reading Co(总题数:0,分数:0.00)四、Part A(总题数:0,分数:0.00)五、Text 1(总题数:5,分数:10.00)21.It seems that the woman mentioned in the last paragraph(分数:2.00)A.regrets having the operation.B.hopes to have more operations.
